Portrait of the artist Kristjan Teder

Ernst Joesaar was one of Estonia's most famous artists in the first half of the 20th century. Here he portrayed one of his friends, Estonian painter Kristjan Teder. There are many examples of such friendships in the art world. Sculptors, painters, writers, composers, would frequent the same places and the same people. Therefore there was a great unicity and harmony in the arts, as they shared inspiration and helped each other evolve in his own art.
